Wow, burly vibrations right in the sweet spot of the torque curve. What a pain-in-the-ass. Why not ask Peter? I would think one of his crack engineers at VWSA already has resolved the problem.

They may very well have a hydraulic snubber between the engine and the firewall in order to reign in the inherent rock n' roll of the longitudinal I-4. This damper may also tune out the vibration.
